HENRY STEVENS.

In chatty article in recent num-
Der of the New York Independent
Grace Greenwood tells the story of a
London dinner some years ago, and
makes pleasant reference to the late
Henry Stevens as follows:
Then there was that most popular
officer of the club, called "The Amerl-
can Minister and Secretary of State"
that "dear lover of books" and men,
Henry Stevens, of Vermont. Married
to a charming EnglishwOman, he had
been long a resident of London, where
travelling Americans-especial of the
book fraternity-fOund in him infinite
laid and comfort" and at his happy
home, a hearty welcome and generous
hospitality. Alas ! to write or speak
his name now, gives me pain, for he
can nevermOre answer to 1T at any
place of labor or recreation at any
time, glad or sad. Gone J That soul of
manifest instincts, yet more than wom-
anly tenderness that character of crys-
tai, that heart of gold, that genial face,
that cordial hand-all that we knew
and loved as Henry Stevens. 1t is
hard to have to look back over his
grave to that golden day of enjoyment,
to that evenings delightful symposium,
all planned and arranged by him.
How merry he was at that dinner how
merry were all his brother NOUlOmG-
gidnS and their guests, even to college
and municipal magnates and their
stately consorts. There was most food
for mirth in certain odd custom in
vogue among the members of the club,
of saying what they do not mean, and
meaning what they do not say. In
their speeches, poems, and toasts; in
criticising and complimenting each
other and their guests, they show no
fastidious adherence of personalities,
and the play would be sometimes lit
tie rough if not interpreted strictly by
the rule of contraries- For instance,
one of the guests at that dinner was
the head scholar in the classics of
Winchester College, handsome, high
bred, and exceedingly clever young
gentleman, blushing under the highest
honors of old "Seinte Marie" and when
his turn came he was cOndescendingly
referred to by the president as simple,
rustic lad, bOasting ''little Latin and
less Creek" but who, for all that,
should not be left to NOPE in the mus
ty cloisters on festive occasions, like
the poor boy who wrote "Dulce Do
num-" The entire speech of DR.. Rich
ardson, which spared no one at the
table, yet hurt no one, was exceeding
ly brilliant and Ingenious delicious
bit of fOoling-while the passes be-
tween him and the Poet Laureate and
the American Minister were like con-
tinuous flashes of innOcuous summer
lightning.

Mrs. CELIA GossRLN, who resides ON Centr,
street, was tor two years afflicted with spinal dis
ease and was unable to do anything much of the
time, and was unable to leave her bed. During
the two years of her illness she constantly EN-
ployed physicians but one and all pronounced heI
case incnrable. She was reduced in flesh almost
to a skeleton, and was hopeless and discouraged
1t was in this condition that she called DR.
Royce to consult with him. and after being treated
BY him two months she is able to do her own work
and is robust and healthy. She has gained greatly
in flesh, and is, far as her former complaint is
concerned. perfectly cured She called and
stated the above facts which we corroborated by
inquiry into the case and wished us to publicly
acknowledge her gratitude to this physician for the
relief he has brought her. and TO add to those al
ready published her recommend OF Dr. Royce's
methods and treatment to other afflicted ones. Dr.
Royce informs that the case of Mrs. Gosselin
was very promising one. and when he first began
did not promise her cure, but thought he could
relieve her in a considerable degree. The success
which attended her treatment is therefore no less
gratifying to him than to thel patient.-f Rutland

A Little story.
R0ef0n Herald

Gov. RObinsOn's telegram to Senator
Dawes: "You are taken and l am left,
hence my double delight" reminds us
of an incident of the siege of Paris.
The story is told by the correspondent
of the London Daily News. Butchers
meat was not to be had and the Pari-
slams were eating their dogs. One
little lady gave up her precious lap
dog, Bijou, for the family table. Bijou
was killed, cooked and eaten, and,
having been a well-kept poodle, no
doubt he proved quite toothsome. At
any rate his mistress thought SO, for at
dinner she put his bones aside on her
plate mechanically, and remarked with
ii sigh, "Oh, how my dear little Biiou
would have enjoyed these BONES"

Remarkable Discoveries in
Medicine.
A Certain Cure for all Forms OF
Chronic Diseases.

Health and disease physical conditions upon
which depend pleasure or pain, eontentment OF
unhappiness, success or failure. Health is essen
tal to the accomplishment of every purpose, while
sickness thwarts the best intentions and loftiest
aims; hence people cannot afford to be sick. The
human being is the crOwning work of the Creator
and when this complicated structure so exquisite
ly wrought is disturbed by disease, the most .suf
fcient aid should be sought from the most skilled
physician, for the human body is too precious to be
neglected.
No physician can be equally skilled in all forms
of disease, and no one in the common, every day
practice of medicine can possibly compound the
necessary remedial agents to cure chronic fnger
ing diseases. DR.. E. w. Royce of Boston, now al
the Avenue house, st. Johnsbury Vt, has met
public need and is great benefactor to the sick.
His means are ample, and his resources Sc
abundant, that he is enabled, in almost all cases
of chronic Diseases to effecta perfect and complete
cure by means of HARMLESS VEGETABLE
REMEDIES.

A Wonderfully Successful Treatment

In the history of medical science, there is no
physician who has done for the alienation of
human suffering and the of disease than DR.
Royce. Receiving his thorough medical education
at the best medical colleges in the land he early
became convinced that the mode of treating disease
by means OF poisonous drugs always resulted in
injury to the system. He therefore turned his
study and investigation to the harmless vegetable
remedies in the laboratory of NATURE. After
graduating and receiving his medical diplomas, he
further pushed his Investigations in the treatment
of diseases, by vegetable remedies, twice visiting
the hospitals of Europe in order to prosecute his
research among the methods of treatment in the
OLD WORLD.
Life being too short for physician to learn all
there is in the vast science of medicine he has
made the study and Investigation of the treatment
of one class of 9isease-the of chronic long
standing cOmplaints-a life work and the result
is certainly marvellous. Vegetable remedies were
discovered for different diseases, which were won
derful in their effects. Thousands of cases of
chronic diseases given up incurable by other
physicians, were restored to sound and perfect
health under the use of these

HARD TIMES AND PROHIBITION.

1t is claimed that the times are
harder now than since ''war and slav-
cry" Many are the conjectures as to
the cause of these hard times. We do
not pretend to say what the principal
causes are, unless it is because the
farmers of the South have quit making
that which they can eat and have trans
ferred their provision houses and barns
to the far West; that so many of the
farming class have left their farms and
come to cities and towns and caused
the loafers in many instances to out
number honest laborers, Such things
as these may have something to do
with hard times.
In a certain locality we heard of the
enemies of prohibition charging the
hard times to prohibition-that town
having carried prohibition some months
ago. There is no truth in this argu-
ment, for prohibition is only local and
the hard times is general-in Char
lottcas in Raleigh. With individuals,
times will be better when they save
all the money they spend for whiskey
and put it to the legitimate needs of
their families. When the times get
hard men should cut off the luxuries,
Whiskey is not necessary to the happi-
ness of a mans family or neighbors.
With universal prohibition we would
have prosperity and plenty throughout
the country Hard times would plunge
in the sea and feast on fishes or bury
itself in the desert sand for thousand
years. 1t is gratifying to see that men
are beginning to think upon these
things before they act. They think of
their responsibility to God and to man;
and when man thinks calmly and
acts from reason, he generally acts
right.
We would ask the Christian readers
of this paper; Is gambling right and
shall we allow it to go on unpublished ?
Is whiskey an evil and shall we allow
it to remain in our doors to destroy
the usefulness of our sons, the morals
of our daughters and the happiness of
our families? Let all take a calm
christian view of the matter and they
will see there is more prosperity in
prohibition than other sections.
